France Demands Answers from Obama over NSA Spying (VIDEO)

French President François Hollande has demanded answers from US President Barack Obama about the National Security Agency's spying on French citizens.

In a statement, Hollande also expressed his deep disapproval of Washington's eavesdropping on millions of French people's phone calls. Hollande said spying activities between allies are not acceptable because it is a violation of French citizens' privacy.

Meanwhile the US says some claims by the French press about its information-gathering are distorted. Earlier, the US State Department announced that it does not want to see its ties with France damaged due to the issue.
